Running actions from the Actions flyout or the library

You can run actions ad hoc from the Actions flyout, and actions that are part of an action mod that is saved in the library can be run directly from the library.

Running an action from the Actions flyout

Before you begin

Make sure data is loaded into the analysis.

Procedure

  1. On the authoring bar, click Actions .
  2. In the flyout, locate the action you want to run and click Run to the right. If the action is in an action mod, you might need to expand the item to select a specific action.
  3. Depending on the action you run, in the next step you might need to provide input and click Run again, or approve that the action will be run. See also, Configuring action parameters and Running an external action.
